“My work is not something outside of me that I do. It is what I am, it is what I know, it is my past, present and future at all times. I am in a continuous state of discovery. My intent has always been to promote positive energy, action, awareness, compassion and understanding. This is who I am, my work reflect my being.

I believe humans are but a mere part of the ‘whole’ and that we have a responsibility to that ‘whole’. I believe in doing all that I can to have a positive effect on the environment and all living creatures. I believe in keeping ones’ word and taking responsibility for ones’ actions. To be honest, to be forthright, to live without fear. To be open, present and aware. To not only live in the moment, but to fully appreciate the moment.” - Andrea Maki, 2002
